Diomin is a world governed not by science but by myth. It's a world
where sorcery functions and the Gods play an active part in everyday
life. Diomin lies at the juncture between the Spirit World and the
Divine Realm, created by the One God to act as a bridge between the two.
The result of this is sorcery and mortal life. To this very day Diomin
is being fought over by the Gods.
The Gods themselves live in the Divine Realm and interact with mortality
through their representatives, as well as their magics. Those in the
Spirit World also have dealings with mortals, including powers and
magics of their own.
There is much to discover and much to accomplish as nations fight with
nations and Gods scheme for control of mortality. Whole cultures are in
the process of change, not knowing what the future holds.
This book contains the information you need to start playing on Diomin. It introduces several new races:
- The Arak, a nomadic people;
- The Gnolaum, a beautiful forest race; and
- The Hearthom, a race made of stone.
From the standard races, only humans exist on Diomin, under the names The Tirasim and their evil brothers The Zeredites.
The book also introduces a new class, the Shaman, a class that can
commincate with and control spirits. The book also makes some minor
changes to other classes, most notably to Paladins, to allow all
alignments.
Furthermore, the book includes an introductionary adventure called To Save A Nation.
"Go to the sign of Marvel's Axe, a dubious inn on the edge of the Thieves Quarter, in the City of Greyhawk, and look to your own wrist. If you perceive a bracelet and dangling dice, watch for the next throw in the war between Law and Chaos and be prepared to follow the compelling geas." -Signal
